NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2000
(unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Exelixis, Inc. ("Exelixis" or the "Company"), formerly Exelixis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., is a leading model system genetics and comparative genomics company that uses model systems to identify critical genes in disease pathways and to determine functional relationships of genes and functionality of potential targets for the pharmaceutical and agriculture industries. The Company operates in one business segment in the United States.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000, or for any future period. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1999 included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (No. 333-96335), which was declared effective by the SEC on April 10, 2000.
Net Loss per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share" and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98. Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net loss per share excludes potential common stock if their effect is antidilutive. Potential common stock consists of common stock subject to repurchase, incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and shares issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock and convertible promissory note.
Comprehensive Income
The only component of other comprehensive income is unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000, total comprehensive loss amounted to $8.8 million and $27.0 million, respectively. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999, there were no differences between comprehensive loss and net loss.
Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. In July 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133". SFAS No. 137 deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 133 until fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. To date, the Company has not engaged in derivative or hedging activities.
In March 2000, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation - an Interpretation of APB 25", which was effective July 1, 2000. FASB Interpretation No. 44 did not have any material impact on the Company's financial statements.
Note 2. Initial Public Offering
On April 14, 2000, the Company completed an initial public offering in which it sold 9,100,000 shares of common stock at $13.00 per share for net proceeds of approximately $108.2 million, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering costs. Upon the closing of the offering, all the Company's mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock converted into 22,877,656 shares of common stock. After the offering, the Company's authorized capital consisted of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value. On May 1, 2000, the underwriters exercised an over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,365,000 shares, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $16.5 million.
Note 3. Deferred Stock Compensation
Deferred stock compensation for options granted to employees is the difference between the deemed value for financial reporting purposes of the Company's common stock on the date such options were granted and their exercise price. Deferred stock compensation for options granted to consultants has been determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and is periodically remeasured as the underlying options vest in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with, Selling Goods or Services".
As of September 30, 2000, the Company has recorded a cumulative $29.1 million of deferred stock compensation related to stock options granted to consultants and employees. Stock compensation expense is being recognized in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 28 over the vesting periods of the related options, generally four years. The Company recognized stock compensation expense of $3.5 million and $12.1 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000, respectively, and $1.1 million and $2.0 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999, respectively.
Note 4. Commitments
On March 29, 2000, the Company entered into an amendment to an existing lease agreement to additionally lease a second building consisting of approximately 49,000 square feet of research and development and general office space in South San Francisco, California. Future noncancelable lease payments under this amended agreement for the second building total approximately $32.0 million. Payments are expected to begin in the second quarter of 2001 and will continue through the remaining term of the lease. In connection with the amended agreement, the Company issued warrants to the property lessor to purchase 78,750 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $13.00 per share. The Company determined the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: expected life of five years; a weighted average risk-free rate of 6.38%; expected dividend yield of zero; volatility of 70%; and a deemed value of the common stock of $11.00 per share. The fair value of the warrants of $518,000 has been capitalized and will be amortized as rent expense over the term of the lease.
In September 2000, the Company entered into a master lease agreement with a third party lessor for an equipment lease line of up to $13.1 million. The master lease agreement provides for a quarterly delivery structure which expires in June 2001. Each quarterly delivery has a 14-quarter payment term. Under the master lease agreement, the Company is subject to certain financial covenants. As of September 30, 2000, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. During September 2000, the Company entered into an equipment sale-leaseback agreement under the master lease agreement resulting in proceeds to the Company of approximately $6.0 million.
Note 5. Convertible Promissory Note
In February 1999, the Company issued a $7.5 million convertible promissory note to Pharmacia Corporation, formerly Pharmacia & Upjohn ("Pharmacia"), in connection with a collaboration agreement. The note was to convert into shares of the Company's common stock at a price per share equal to 120% of the price of common stock sold in the initial public offering, the time of such conversion to be determined by Pharmacia. During July 2000, Pharmacia converted the note into 480,769 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $15.60 per share.
Note 6. Acquisition
In September 2000, Exelixis entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Agritope, Inc., an agricultural functional genomics and biotechnology company that develops improved plant products and provides technology to the agricultural industry, in a stock-for-stock transaction. Under the terms of the agreement, each outstanding share of Agritope capital stock would be converted into the right to receive a fraction of a share of Exelixis common stock. The fractional share amount will be calculated by dividing $14.00 by the average closing price of Exelixis common stock for the 20 trading days ending on, and including, the fifth trading day before the closing of the merger, subject to the issuance of a minimum of 0.28 of a share and a maximum of 0.35 of a share of Exelixis common stock for each outstanding share of Agritope capital stock. In addition, all outstanding options and warrants to acquire Agritope capital stock will be exercisable for shares of Exelixis common stock based on the final exchange ratio. The transaction is expected to be completed in December 2000, subject to approval by Agritope's stockholders and satisfaction or waiver of other customary closing conditions, and will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
In September 2000, Exelixis loaned $750,000 to Agritope as additional working capital. The loan bears interest at a rate equal to one percent over the prime rate and is payable on the earlier of 90 days after the termination of the merger agreement or March 1, 2001.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and accompanying notes included in this report and the 1999 audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Registration Statement on Form S-4 (No. 333-47710), as amended. Operating results are not necessarily indicative of results that may occur in future periods.
The following discussion also contains forward-looking statements that are based upon current expectations. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and the timing of events may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed in "Risk Factors" as well as those discussed elsewhere in this document and those discussed in our Form S-1.
Overview
Exelixis was founded in November 1994 and began operations in January 1995. Since that time, we have made significant investments in developing our capabilities in comparative genomics and model system genetics, as well as more recent investments in proprietary drug discovery technologies. Our proprietary technologies provide a rapid, efficient and cost-effective way to move beyond DNA sequence data to understand the function of genes and the proteins that they encode. We believe that our technologies are commercially applicable to all industries whose products can be enhanced by an understanding of DNA or proteins. To date, we have recognized revenues from research collaborations with large pharmaceutical and agrochemical companies. Our current collaborations are with Bayer, Pharmacia, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Dow AgroSciences.
Our sources of potential revenue for the next several years are likely to include upfront license and other fees, funded research payments under existing and possible future collaborative arrangements, milestone payments and royalties from our collaborators based on revenues received from any products commercialized under those agreements.
We have a history of operating losses resulting principally from costs associated with research and development activities, investment in core technologies and general and administrative functions. As a result of planned expenditures for future research and development activities, we expect to incur additional operating losses for the forseeable future.
License, research commitment and other non-refundable payments received in connection with research collaboration agreements are deferred and generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the relevant periods specified in the agreements, generally the research term. We recognize contract research revenues as services are performed in accordance with the terms of the agreements. Any amounts received in advance of performance are recorded as deferred revenue.
Results of Operations
Revenues
Total revenues were $6.1 million and $17.7 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000, respectively, compared to $3.2 million and $6.7 million, respectively, for the comparable periods in 1999. The increase for both periods was due primarily to additional license and contract revenues earned from the existing collaborations with Bayer, Pharmacia, Bristol-Myers Squibb and our new collaboration with Dow AgroSciences.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expenses, facility costs, supplies and depreciation of facilities and laboratory equipment. Research and development expenses were $12.6 million and $34.9 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000, respectively, compared to $5.8 million and $13.0 million, respectively, for the comparable periods in 1999. The increase for both periods was primarily due to increased staffing and other personnel- related costs incurred to support new collaborative arrangements and our internal self-funded research efforts and an increase in non-cash stock compensation expense (as described below). We expect to continue to devote substantial resources to research and development, and we expect that research and development expenses will continue to increase in absolute dollar amounts in the future.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and other related costs to support our activities, facility costs and professional expenses, such as legal fees. General and administrative expenses were $4.5 million and $13.7 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000, respectively, compared to $2.6 million and $6.0 million, respectively, for the comparable periods in 1999. The increase for both periods was primarily related to increased recruiting expenses, non-cash stock compensation expense (as described below) and rent for facilities and expenses associated with our expanding corporate headquarters. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute dollar amounts in the future as we expand our administrative staff and add infrastructure to support our growing research and development efforts.
Stock Compensation Expense
Deferred stock compensation for options granted to employees is the difference between the deemed value for financial reporting purposes of our common stock on the date such options were granted and their exercise price. Deferred stock compensation for options granted to consultants has been determined in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and is periodically remeasured as the underlying options vest in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-18.
In connection with the grant of stock options to employees and consultants, we recorded deferred stock compensation of approximately $0.7 million and $11.1 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000, respectively, compared to $10.3 million and $12.0 million, respectively, for the comparable periods in 1999. These amounts were recorded as a component of stockholders' equity (deficit) and are being amortized as charges to operations over the vesting periods of the options. We recorded stock compensation expense of approximately $3.5 million and $12.1 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000, respectively, compared to $1.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively, for the comparable periods in 1999.
Other income
Other income primarily consists of income earned on cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, partially offset by interest expense incurred on notes payable and capital lease obligations. Net other income was $2.0 million and $3.7 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000, respectively, compared to $31,000 and $97,000, respectively, for the comparable periods in 1999. The increase year-over-year primarily relates to interest income earned on the proceeds from our initial public offering.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through private placements of preferred stock, loans, equipment lease financings and other loan facilities and payments from collaborators. In addition, during the second quarter of 2000, we completed our initial public offering raising $124.7 million in net proceeds to the Company. We intend to use the proceeds for research and development activities, capital expenditures, working capital and other general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2000, we had approximately $118.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.
Our operating activities used cash of $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Cash used by operating activities in 2000 and 1999 related primarily to the funding of net operating losses and changes in assets and liabilities, partially offset by an increase in deferred revenue received from collaborators and non-cash charges related to amortization of deferred stock compensation.
Our investing activities used cash of $84.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $6.9 million for the corresponding period in 1999. Cash used in investing activities increased year- over-year due to increased purchases of short-term investments, net, and capital expenditures. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2000, we received $6.0 million in proceeds from a sale-leaseback agreement. We expect to continue to make significant investments in research and development and our administrative infrastructure, including the purchase of property and equipment to support our expanding operations.
Our financing activities provided cash of $123.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $16.7 million for the corresponding period in 1999. The 2000 activity consisted primarily of net proceeds from our initial public offering and exercise of stock options and warrants, slightly offset by payments on notes payable and capital lease obligations. The 1999 activity consisted primarily of proceeds from sales of preferred stock and proceeds from the issuance of notes payable, slightly offset by payments on notes payable and capital lease obligations.
We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, short- term investments and funding to be received from collaborators, will be sufficient to satisfy our anticipated cash needs for at least the next two years. However, it is possible that we will seek additional financing within this timeframe. We may raise additional funds through public or private financing, collaborative relationships or other arrangements. We cannot assure you that additional funding, if sought, will be available or, even if available, will be available on terms favorable to us. Further, any additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. Our failure to raise capital when needed may harm our business and operating results.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. In July 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133". SFAS No. 137 deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 133 until fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. To date, the Company has not engaged in derivative or hedging activities.
In March 2000, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation - an Interpretation of APB 25", which was effective July 1, 2000. FASB Interpretation No. 44 did not have any material impact on the Company's financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position, operating results or cash flows due to changes in interest rates in the United States. This exposure is directly related to our normal operating activities. Our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are invested with high quality issuers and are generally of a short-term nature. Interest rates payable on our notes and lease obligations are generally fixed. As a result, we do not believe that near-term changes in interest rates will have a material effect on our future results of operations.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds
In February 1999, the Company issued a $7.5 million convertible promissory note to Pharmacia Corporation, formerly Pharmacia & Upjohn ("Pharmacia"), in connection with a collaboration agreement. The promissory note was to convert into shares of the Company's common stock at a price per share equal to 120% of the price of common stock sold in the initial public offering, the time of such conversion to be determined by Pharmacia. During July 2000, Pharmacia converted the promissory note into 480,769 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $15.60 per share. The shares subject to purchase under the promissory note were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("the Act"), in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Act.
In April 2000, we completed our initial public offering of 9,100,000 shares of our common stock at an initial public offering price of $13.00 per share for aggregate proceeds of approximately $118.3 million. The managing underwriters in the offering were Goldman, Sachs & Co., Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation and SG Cowen Securities Corporation. The shares of common stock sold in the offering were registered under the Act in a Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (No. 333-96335). The SEC declared the Registration Statement effective on April 10, 2000.
In connection with the offering, we paid a total of approximately $8.3 million in underwriting discounts and commissions and $1.8 million in other offering costs and expenses. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the offering costs and expenses, our net proceeds from the offering were approximately $108.2 million. Furthermore, on May 1, 2000, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,365,000 shares of common stock, resulting in additional net proceeds to us of approximately $16.5 million.
From the time of receipt through September 30, 2000, the proceeds from the offering were used for research and development activities, capital expenditures, working capital and other general corporate purposes. In the future, we intend to use the net proceeds in a similar manner. As of September 30, 2000, $118.9 million of the proceeds remained available and were primarily invested in short-term marketable securities.
Item 5. Other Information - Risk Factors
We have a history of net losses. We expect to continue to incur net losses, and we may not achieve or maintain profitability.
We have incurred net losses each year since our inception, including a net loss of approximately $27.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. As of that date, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $82.0 million. We expect these losses to continue and anticipate negative cash flow for the foreseeable future. The size of these net losses will depend, in part, on the rate of growth, if any, in our license and contract revenues and on the level of our expenses. Our research and development expenditures and general and administrative costs have exceeded our revenues to date, and we expect to spend significant additional amounts to fund research and development in order to enhance our core technologies and undertake product development. As a result, we expect that our operating expenses will increase significantly in the near term and, consequently, we will need to generate significant additional revenues to achieve profitability. Even if we do increase our revenues and achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability.
We will need additional capital in the future, which may not be available to us.
Our future capital requirements will be substantial, and will depend on many factors including:
We anticipate that our current cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and funding to be received from collaborators, together with the proceeds from our initial public offering in April 2000 and interest earned thereon, will enable us to maintain our currently planned operations for at least the next two years. Changes to our current operating plan may require us to consume available capital resources significantly sooner than we expect. We may be unable to raise sufficient additional capital when we need it, on favorable terms, or at all. If our capital resources are insufficient to meet future capital requirements, we will have to raise additional funds. The sale of equity or convertible debt securities in the future may be dilutive to our stockholders, and debt financing arrangements may require us to pledge certain assets and enter into covenants that would restrict our ability to incur further indebtedness. If we are unable to obtain adequate funds on reasonable terms, we may be required to curtail operations significantly or to obtain funds by entering into financing, supply or collaboration agreements on unattractive terms.
Difficulties we may encounter managing our growth may divert resources and limit our ability to successfully expand our operations.
We have experienced a period of rapid and substantial growth that has placed, and our anticipated growth in the future will continue to place, a strain on our administrative and operational infrastructure. As our operations expand, we expect that we will need to manage additional relationships with various collaborative partners, suppliers and other third parties. Our ability to manage our operations and growth effectively requires us to continue to improve our operational, financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures. We may not be able to successfully implement improvements to our management information and control systems in an efficient or timely manner and may discover deficiencies in existing systems and controls.
We are dependent on our collaborations with major companies. If we are unable to achieve milestones or develop products or are unable to renew or enter into new collaborations, our revenues may decrease and our activities may fail to lead to commercialized products.
Substantially all of our revenues to date have been derived from collaborative research and development agreements. Revenues from research and development collaborations depend upon continuation of the collaborations, the achievement of milestones and royalties derived from future products developed from our research. If we are unable to successfully achieve milestones or our collaborators fail to develop successful products, we will not earn the revenues contemplated under such collaborative agreements. In addition, some of our collaborations are exclusive and preclude us from entering into additional collaborative arrangements with other parties in the area or field of exclusivity.
We currently have collaborative research agreements with Bayer, Pharmacia, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Dow AgroSciences. Our current collaborative agreement with Bayer is scheduled to expire in 2008, after which it will automatically be extended for one-year terms unless terminated by either party upon 12-month written notice. Our agreement permits Bayer to terminate our collaborative activities prior to 2008 upon the occurrence of specified conditions, such as the failure to agree on key strategic issues after a period of years or the acquisition of Exelixis by certain specified third parties. Similarly, our collaborative agreement with Pharmacia allows either party to terminate our research collaboration at the conclusion of its third year in 2002, at the conclusion of its fifth year in 2004, or any subsequent year. The Pharmacia agreement may also be terminated in the event of a conflict over material third-party intellectual property rights. Our collaborative agreement with Bristol-Myers Squibb expires in September 2002. Our collaborative agreement with Dow AgroSciences is scheduled to expire in July 2003, after which Dow AgroSciences has the option to renew on an annual basis. In addition, both our agreements with Bayer and Pharmacia are subject to termination at an earlier date if certain specified individuals are no longer employed by us and we are unable to find replacements acceptable to Bayer or Pharmacia, as the case may be. In the case of Pharmacia, the right is triggered if either of two specified individuals directly involved in the research program cease to be employed by us. In the case of Bayer, the right is triggered if two or more of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Scientific Officer, Agricultural Biotechnology Program Leader and Chief Information Officer cease to have a relationship with us within six months of each other.
If these existing agreements are not renewed or if we are unable to enter into new collaborative agreements on commercially acceptable terms, our revenues and product development efforts may be adversely affected.
Conflicts with our collaborators could jeopardize the outcome of our collaborative agreements and our ability to commercialize products.
We intend to conduct proprietary research programs in specific disease and agricultural product areas that are not covered by our collaborative agreements. Our pursuit of opportunities in agricultural and pharmaceutical markets could, however, result in conflicts with our collaborators in the event that any of our collaborators takes the position that our internal activities overlap with those areas that are exclusive to our collaborative agreements, and we should be precluded from such internal activities. Moreover, disagreements with our collaborators could develop over rights to our intellectual property. In addition, our collaborative agreements may have provisions that give rise to disputes regarding the rights and obligations of the parties. Any conflict with our collaborators could lead to the termination of our collaborative agreements, delay collaborative activities, reduce our ability to renew agreements or obtain future collaboration agreements or result in litigation or arbitration and would negatively impact our relationship with existing collaborators.
We have limited or no control over the resources that our collaborators may choose to devote to our joint efforts. Our collaborators may breach or terminate their agreements with us or fail to perform their obligations thereunder. Further, our collaborators may elect not to develop products arising out of our collaborative arrangements or may fail to devote sufficient resources to the development, manufacture, market or sale of such products. Certain of our collaborators could also become our competitors in the future. If our collaborators develop competing products, preclude us from entering into collaborations with their competitors, fail to obtain necessary regulatory approvals, terminate their agreements with us prematurely or fail to devote sufficient resources to the development and commercialization of our products, our product development efforts could be delayed and may fail to lead to commercialized products.
We are deploying unproven technologies, and we may not be able to develop commercially successful products.
You must evaluate us in light of the uncertainties and complexities affecting a biotechnology company. Our technologies are still in the early stages of development. Our research and operations thus far have allowed us to identify a number of product targets for use by our collaborators and our own internal development programs. We are not certain, however, of the commercial value of any of our current or future targets, and we may not be successful in expanding the scope of our research into new fields of pharmaceutical or pesticide research, or other agricultural applications such as enhancing plant traits to produce superior crop yields, disease resistance or increased nutritional content. Significant research and development, financial resources and personnel will be required to capitalize on our technology, develop commercially viable products and obtain regulatory approval for such products.
We have no experience in developing, manufacturing and marketing products and may be unable to commercialize proprietary products.
Initially, we will rely on our collaborators to develop and commercialize products based on our research and development efforts. We have no experience in using the targets that we identify to develop our own proprietary products. In order for us to commercialize products, we would need to significantly enhance our capabilities with respect to product development, and establish manufacturing and marketing capabilities, either directly or through outsourcing or licensing arrangements. We may not be able to enter into such outsourcing or licensing agreements on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.
Since our technologies have many potential applications and we have limited resources, our focus on a particular area may result in our failure to capitalize on more profitable areas.
We have limited financial and managerial resources. This requires us to focus on product candidates in specific industries and forego opportunities with regard to other products and industries. For example, depending on our ability to allocate resources, a decision to concentrate on a particular agricultural program may mean that we will not have resources available to apply the same technology to a pharmaceutical project. While our technologies may permit us to work in both areas, resource commitments may require trade-offs resulting in delays in the development of certain programs or research areas, which may place us at a competitive disadvantage. Our decisions impacting resource allocation may not lead to the development of viable commercial products and may divert resources from more profitable market opportunities.
Our competitors may develop products and technologies that make ours obsolete.
The biotechnology industry is highly fragmented and is characterized by rapid technological change. In particular, the area of gene research is a rapidly evolving field. We face, and will continue to face, intense competition from large biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, as well as academic research institutions, clinical reference laboratories and government agencies that are pursuing research activities similar to ours. Some of our competitors have entered into collaborations with leading companies within our target markets, including some of our existing collaborators. Our future success will depend on our ability to maintain a competitive position with respect to technological advances.
Any products that are developed through our technologies will compete in highly competitive markets. Further, our competitors may be more effective at using their technologies to develop commercial products. Many of the organizations competing with us have greater capital resources, larger research and development staffs and facilities, more experience in obtaining regulatory approvals and more extensive product manufacturing and marketing capabilities. As a result, our competitors may be able to more easily develop technologies and products that would render our technologies and products, and those of our collaborators, obsolete and noncompetitive.
If we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property, third parties may be able to use our technology, which could adversely affect our ability to compete in the market.
Our success will depend in part on our ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate protection of the intellectual property related to our technologies and products. The patent positions of biotechnology companies, including our patent position, are generally uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. We will be able to protect our intellectual property rights from unauthorized use by third parties only to the extent that our technologies are covered by valid and enforceable patents or are effectively maintained as trade secrets. The laws of some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S., and many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending such rights in foreign jurisdictions. We will apply for patents covering our technologies and products as and when we deem appropriate. However, these applications may be challenged or may fail to result in issued patents. Our existing patents and any future patents we obtain may not be sufficiently broad to prevent others from practicing our technologies or from developing competing products. Furthermore, others may independently develop similar or alternative technologies or design around our patents. In addition, our patents may be challenged, invalidated or fail to provide us with any competitive advantages.
We rely on trade secret protection for our confidential and proprietary information. We have taken security measures to protect our proprietary information and trade secrets, but these measures may not provide adequate protection. While we seek to protect our proprietary information by entering into confidentiality agreements with employees, collaborators and consultants, we cannot assure you that our proprietary information will not be disclosed, or that we can meaningfully protect our trade secrets. In addition, our competitors may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information or may otherwise gain access to our trade secrets.
Litigation or third party claims of intellectual property infringement could require us to spend substantial time and money and adversely affect our ability to develop and commercialize products.
Our commercial success depends in part on our ability to avoid infringing patents and proprietary rights of third parties, and not breaching any licenses that we have entered into with regard to our technologies. Other parties have filed, and in the future are likely to file, patent applications covering genes and gene fragments, techniques and methodologies relating to model systems, and products and technologies that we have developed or intend to develop. If patents covering technologies required by our operations are issued to others, we may have to rely on licenses from third parties, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.
Third parties may accuse us of employing their proprietary technology without authorization. In addition, third parties may obtain patents that relate to our technologies and claim that use of such technologies infringes these patents. Regardless of their merit, such claims could require us to incur substantial costs, including the diversion of management and technical personnel, in defending ourselves against any such claims or enforcing our patents. In the event that a successful claim of infringement is brought against us, we may be required to pay damages and obtain one or more licenses from third parties. We may not be able to obtain these licenses at a reasonable cost, or at all. Defense of any lawsuit or failure to obtain any of these licenses could adversely affect our ability to develop and commercialize products.
The loss of key personnel or the inability to attract and retain additional personnel could impair our ability to expand our operations.
We are highly dependent on the principal members of our management and scientific staff, the loss of whose services might adversely impact the achievement of our objectives and the continuation of existing collaborations. In addition, recruiting and retaining qualified scientific personnel to perform future research and development work will be critical to our success. We do not currently have sufficient executive management and technical personnel to fully execute our business plan. There is currently a shortage of skilled executives and employees with technical expertise, and this shortage is likely to continue. As a result, competition for skilled personnel is intense and turnover rates are high. Although we believe we will be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel, competition for experienced scientists from numerous companies, academic and other research institutions may limit our ability to do so.
Our business operations will require additional expertise in specific industries and areas applicable to products identified and developed through our technologies. These activities will require the addition of new personnel, including management and technical personnel and the development of additional expertise by existing employees. The inability to attract such personnel or to develop this expertise could prevent us from expanding our operations in a timely manner, or at all.
Our collaborations with outside scientists may be subject to restriction and change.
We work with scientific advisors and collaborators at academic and other institutions who assist us in our research and development efforts. These scientists are not our employees and may have other commitments that would limit their availability to us. Although our scientific advisors and collaborators generally agree not to do competing work, if a conflict of interest between their work for us and their work for another entity arises, we may lose their services. In addition, although our scientific advisors and collaborators sign agreements not to disclose our confidential information, it is possible that valuable proprietary knowledge may become publicly known through them.
Our potential therapeutic products are subject to a lengthy and uncertain regulatory process that may not result in the necessary regulatory approvals, which could adversely affect our ability to commercialize products.
The Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, must approve any drug or biologic product before it can be marketed in the U.S. Any products resulting from our research and development efforts must also be approved by the regulatory agencies of foreign governments before the product can be sold outside the U.S. Before a new drug application or biologics license application can be filed with the FDA, the product candidate must undergo extensive clinical trials, which can take many years and may require substantial expenditures. The regulatory process also requires preclinical testing. Data obtained from preclinical and clinical activities are susceptible to varying interpretations, which could delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval. In addition, delays or rejections may be encountered based upon changes in regulatory policy for product approval during the period of product development and regulatory agency review. The clinical development and regulatory approval process is expensive and time consuming. Any failure to obtain regulatory approval could delay or prevent us from commercializing products.
Our efforts to date have been primarily limited to identifying targets. Significant research and development efforts will be necessary before any products resulting from such targets can be commercialized. If regulatory approval is granted to any of our products, this approval may impose limitations on the uses for which a product may be marketed. Further, once regulatory approval is obtained, a marketed product and its manufacturer are subject to continual review, and discovery of previously unknown problems with a product or manufacturer may result in restrictions and sanctions with respect to the product, manufacturer and relevant manufacturing facility, including withdrawal of the product from the market.
Social issues may limit the public acceptance of genetically engineered products, which could reduce demand for our products.
Although our technology is not dependent on genetic engineering, genetic engineering plays a prominent role in our approach to product development. For example, research efforts focusing on plant traits may involve either selective breeding or modification of existing genes in the plant under study. Public attitudes may be influenced by claims that genetically engineered products are unsafe for consumption or pose a danger to the environment. Such claims may prevent our genetically engineered products from gaining public acceptance. The commercial success of our future products will depend, in part, on public acceptance of the use of genetically engineered products including drugs and plant and animal products.
The subject of genetically modified organisms has received negative publicity, which has aroused public debate. For example, certain countries in Europe are considering regulations that may ban products or require express labeling of products that contain genetic modifications or are "genetically modified." Adverse publicity has resulted in greater regulation internationally and trade restrictions on imports of genetically altered products. If similar action is taken in the U.S., genetic research and genetically engineered products could be subject to greater domestic regulation, including stricter labeling requirements. To date, our business has not been hampered by these activities. However, such publicity in the future may prevent any products resulting from our research from gaining market acceptance and reduce demand for our products.
Laws and regulations may reduce our ability to sell genetically engineered products that we or our collaborators develop in the future.
We or our collaborators may develop genetically engineered agricultural and animal products. The field testing, production and marketing of genetically engineered products are subject to regulation by federal, state, local and foreign governments. Regulatory agencies administering existing or future regulations or legislation may prevent us from producing and marketing genetically engineered products in a timely manner or under technically or commercially feasible conditions. In addition, regulatory action or private litigation could result in expenses, delays or other impediments to our product development programs and the commercialization of products.
The FDA has released a policy statement stating that it will apply the same regulatory standards to foods developed through genetic engineering as it applies to foods developed through traditional plant breeding. Genetically engineered food products will be subject to premarket review, however, if these products raise safety questions or are deemed to be food additives. Our products may be subject to lengthy FDA reviews and unfavorable FDA determinations if they raise questions regarding safety or our products are deemed to be food additives.
The FDA has also announced that it will not require genetically engineered agricultural products to be labeled as such, provided that these products are as safe and have the same nutritional characteristics as conventionally developed products. The FDA may reconsider or change its policies, and local or state authorities may enact labeling requirements, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our ability or the ability of our collaborators to develop and market products resulting from our efforts.
We use hazardous chemicals and radioactive and biological materials in our business. Any claims relating to improper handling, storage or disposal of these materials could be time consuming and costly.
Our research and development processes involve the controlled use of hazardous materials, including chemicals, radioactive and biological materials. Our operations produce hazardous waste products. We cannot eliminate the risk of accidental contamination or discharge and any resultant injury from these materials. Federal, state and local laws and regulations govern the use, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of hazardous materials. We may be sued for any injury or contamination that results from our use or the use by third parties of these materials, and our liability may exceed our insurance coverage and our total assets. Compliance with environmental laws and regulations may be expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair our research, development and production efforts.
In addition, our collaborators may use hazardous materials in connection with our collaborative efforts. To our knowledge, their work is performed in accordance with applicable biosafety regulations. In the event of a lawsuit or investigation, however, we could be held responsible for any injury caused to persons or property by exposure to, or release of, these hazardous materials use by these parties. Further, we may be required to indemnify our collaborators against all damages and other liabilities arising out of our development activities or products produced in connection with these collaborations.
If product liability lawsuits are successfully brought against us, we could face substantial liabilities that exceed our resources.
We may be held liable if any product we or our collaborators develop causes injury or is found otherwise unsuitable during product testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Although we intend to obtain general liability and product liability insurance, this insurance may be prohibitively expensive, or may not fully cover our potential liabilities. Inability to obtain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect ourselves against potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of products developed by us or our collaborators.
Our facilities are located near known earthquake fault zones, and the occurrence of an earthquake or other catastrophic disaster could cause damage to our facilities and equipment, which could require us to cease or curtail operations.
Given our location, our facilities are vulnerable to damage from earthquakes. We are also vulnerable to damage from other types of disasters, including fire, floods, power loss, communications failures and similar events. If any disaster were to occur, our ability to operate our business at our facilities would be seriously, or potentially completely, impaired. In addition, the unique nature of our research activities could cause significant delays in our programs and make it difficult for us to recover from a disaster. The insurance we maintain may not be adequate to cover our losses resulting from disasters or other business interruptions. Accordingly, an earthquake or other disaster could materially and adversely harm our ability to conduct business.
We expect that our quarterly results of operations will fluctuate, and this fluctuation could cause our stock price to decline, causing investor losses.
Our quarterly operating results have fluctuated in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future. A number of factors, many of which we cannot control, could subject our operating results and stock price to volatility, including:
A large portion of our expenses, including expenses for facilities, equipment and personnel, are relatively fixed in the short term. In addition, we expect operating expenses to increase significantly during the next year. Accordingly, if our revenues decline or do not grow as anticipated due to the expiration of existing contracts or our failure to obtain new contracts, our inability to meet milestones or other factors, we may not be able to correspondingly reduce our operating expenses. Failure to achieve anticipated levels of revenues could therefore significantly harm our operating results for a particular fiscal period.
Due to the possibility of fluctuations in our revenues and expenses, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results are not a good indication of our future performance. As a result, in some future quarters, our operating results may not meet the expectations of stock market analysts and investors, which could result in a decline in the price of our stock.
Our stock price may be extremely volatile.
Our common stock began to publicly trade on April 11, 2000. We believe the trading price of our common stock will remain highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially due to factors such as the following:
These factors and fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, may materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted. A securities class action suit against us could result in substantial costs and divert management's attention and resources, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business.
Future sales of our common stock may depress our stock price.
If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock (including shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants) in the public market, the market price of our common stock could fall. These sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity- related securities in the future at a time and price that we deemed appropriate. On October 8, 2000, a significant number of shares of our common stock held by existing stockholders became freely tradable, subject in some instances to the volume and other limitations of Rule 144. Sales of these shares and other shares of common stock held by existing stockholders could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
Some of our existing stockholders can exert control over us, and may not make decisions that are in the best interests of all stockholders.
Due to their combined stock holdings, our officers, directors and principal stockholders (stockholders holding more than 5% of our common stock) acting together, may be able to exert significant influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, this concentration of ownership may delay or prevent a change in control of our company, even when a change may be in the best interests of our stockholders. In addition, the interests of these stockholders may not always coincide with our interests as a company or the interests of other stockholders. Accordingly, these stockholders could cause us to enter into transactions or agreements that you would not approve.
We are exposed to risks associated with acquisitions.
We have made, and may in the future make, acquisitions of, or significant investments in, businesses with complementary products, services and/or technologies. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including, but not limited to:
Mergers and acquisitions, including our potential acquisition of Agritope, are inherently risky, and the inability to effectively manage these risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
